Why the Colca Canyon?

It is fantastically beautiful and substantially larger than the
notorious Grand Canyon in the United States. The Colca Canyon has a
maximum depth of 4.160 m (HERE!). Though, much of the landscape is rather
flat, when compared to the Grand Canyon.

The Colca Canyon is a popular hiking destination and except the
beautiful views, it also has pre-Inca stepped terraces, small towns with
original colonial architecture.

The Colca Canyon is home to the Andean Condor endangered species. These
fantastic birds are among the main attractions and icons of the Colca
Canyon! One can see them fly by, as they fly across the canyon. They are
especially frequent in the early morning and late afternoon.

Part of the Colca Canyon is green, another part is arid, semi
desert-like with oases in it.

Activities in the Colca Canyon

What can you do in the Colca Canyon? Hiking, biking, white river
rafting, photographing, some even try canoeing. Bird watching is also
interesting, but not as popular as in
Amazonian Peru's rainforests.
